Abstract

Behavior skills training (BST) with ongoing coaching is an effective form of professional development that creates sustained educator practice change and improves student outcomes. We provide a model for how BST can be used to improve the implementation of evidence-based practices with both teachers and paraprofessionals, the latter of whom often do not receive professional development opportunities or coaching. We propose a model for BST with digital tools that can be used in face-to-face, hybrid, and virtual formats, which is timely given the pandemic. A vignette with a dyad of educators is used to illustrate the model and examples of fidelity and coaching forms are included. A figure of the BST process with visual supports provided to the educators is included.
